So, the technology was already there. You know, being able to carry 24 hours of nonstop music in an inch and a half square that weighs less than an ounce. Oh, and it’s a touch screen.

[Taking a moment for the periodic iPod induced mind-blowing]

Now, Hex gives you that Buzz Lightyear feeling of tinkering with trinkets on your wrist.

What’s next then, Nano with FaceTime? Then we could really get Back to the Future with the Hex. Great Scott!

Colorfast Apparel has made sure you’ll never forget your headphones again creating & patenting Active Audio, which incorporates music (literally) into fashion with headphones built into the drawcord for iPod integration. Not only are these garments cool and convenient, but they’re machine washable and made from the most comfortable fabric.

Want to snag one of these awesome hoodies so you can jam out in convenience and style? Tell us what song you would listen to first upon wearing a Colorfast Apparel Active Audio in the comments below, and follow us on Twitter @fashionindie.

2002 – The first OFT was a subtle affair. Clocking in at $730,500, highlights included key lime pie and a J. Lo velour sweatsuit. You gotta start somewhere.

2003 – O then proceeded to crack the million dollar mark, $1,527,750. This is when she started throwing $600 watches and $400 Blackberries at people.

2004 – Shit went down. $4,299,600. We’re talking flat screen TVs ($2,299), spa trips ($850), $11,000 bedding and a $2000 laptop. Suffice to say, there were no J. Lo sweatsuits.

2005 – A little more conservative. $2,211,600. We got a little Ralph Lauren, a little Burberry, an Apple iPod and the big ticket item, a $2400 diamond watch.

2006 – This year’s studio audience must have been PISSED. Facing criticism that she had been basically feeding into American’s capitalist greed, Oprah gave her studio audience camcorders and a $1000 credit card to perform (and record) a good deed. Cost = $390,000.

2007 - So that happened, a lesson was learned by no one and then Oprah dropped $2,364,000 on some hideous footwear ($120), the super awesome Planet Earth DVD box set and a $3800 refrigerator. I wonder if that included shipping and handling?

2008 - Remember the recession? Yeah, me neither, but Oprah did and so she shafted her audience again with an installment of “Thrifty Favorite Things.” An H&M swimsuit ($15), a Norma Kamali suit ($350) and something known as “Fit Flops” ($50) broke the bank at $210,600.

2009 – Oprah didn’t even bother this year. There was no OFT, no one checking under their seats for anything, no one jumping up and down in an embarrassing fit of ecstasy. The end was nigh.

2010 – Lulled into a false sense of security, Oprah struck with what would be her Biggest and Last Favorite Things Ever. A bittersweet moment, no doubt, but one still considerably sweet at a cost of $12,075,000. Diamonds! Cashmere! $700 cruises! $3600 3D televisions! $500 iPads! And the grand daddy of all prizes, a $22,000 Volkswagen Beetle! Crying, jumping, hyperventilating, heart palpitations, etc.  followed.

And that’s all she wrote. To those lucky couple hundred of people who got to bask in the glory of Oprah as she screamed in your face about gifts you could otherwise never afford, I salute you. To the less fortunate souls from  2006, 2008 and 2009, at least you got to bask in the glory of Oprah yelling in your face about something.

That’s more than many of us will ever be able to say. [Jezebel]

Like the pocket protector for the modern business man, except much less geeky, this Thomas Pink tie is a great invention. Selling for $100 it makes a perfect gift for your commuting man. Just make sure you get him an Ipod Nano before.

We tell you all the time that music is a great source of inspiration for tons of designers everywhere. It’s only a matter of time before people started to wonder what that music was, and now you can listen to it! The website Tonic has launched a Celebrity Ipod Auction Series. Listen to all of your beloved designers’ favorite tunes. Every week a new group of signed ipods is up for auction.

 The auctions are all intended to benefit Music Rising, an organization that works to replace damaged or lost instruments in a particular hurricane affected region.  This week Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs are on the list!

And you thougth that you had every IPod accessory possible…IBoobs is the perfect gift for that special guy in your life, who will always think of you as he is ‘sinking back into these generous domes of sound.”

For his pleasure, you can get them here.

It’s that time of year again when silk scarves become wool and bare legs are covered with tights. The hours of sunlight in a single day a about half of what they were 4 months ago. But the cold weather doesn’t have to mean the end of fashion. Nothing hurts more while walking in frigid weather than bare ears. Lately, I’ve been wearing oversized headphones to stay warm because multi-tasking is totally my thing. But there are some seriously cute earmuffs out there to keep you feeling warm and looking darling.

This is the best idea ever. I don’t smoke, but there are things like this that make me sort of wish I did (minus the lung cancer and shit). Say what you want, and I know the hate mail is going to flow in, but smoking portrays a really cool image and item like this only help it look cooler. Throw the Fantasia Oliveira colored cigarettes in this holder, and you are almost as cool as Daniel Saynt, and just as cool as me…maybe!

Thanks Tulip Society for the images.

The CBS store is offering a Limited Edition Beverly Hills, 90210 iPod Nano. So if you don’t have one of these gadgets yet (cuz you have not been living in today’s society like the rest of us) then now is your time to combine the pleasures of technology with your fave 90s drama; don’t forget to personalize it with your name, cuz you might not be able to find it in a crowd of other iPods.
